As a natural material, avoid storing your boots in direct sunlight, near to artificial heat or in sub-zero temperatures, as this can cause the rubber to become brittle, deteriorate and crack. Store them upright to avoid creasing or folding – some crumpled newspaper will help. One of our favorite storage is under-stair cupboards; your boots like their home to be cool, well-ventilated and dry, away from strong light.
